Chapter 136: The Gift of Tanabata
Today is the day when the royal family gathers every three or five days, and in a few days, it will be Qixi Festival. The small gathering was very lively, almost overshadowing the limelight of Qixi Festival.
In the past, at this time, the Marquis of Anguo's Mansion would be lit up to prepare for the Qixi Festival in a few days, the birthday of the third lady.
Because the third lady's birthday coincides with the Tanabata Festival, it is easy to be ignored, worried that the baby daughter will be saddened by this, so since Jingshu was born, the Anguo Hou Mansion has an unwritten rule, where the Qixi Festival, to celebrate Jingshu's birthday as the first priority, the festival as a supplement, and then gradually agreed to become customary.
Jiang Jingshu fell into the memory, and the tip of her nose couldn't help but feel a little sour.
At the banquet, Jiang Jingshu sat silently, watching everyone smile and smile, and occasionally mentioned herself, she greeted her with a smile.
Zou Chen sat on the side, watching that she had not been in a good mood, lowered his eyes, and thoughtfully.
Three days after the banquet, Tanabata quietly came. From time to time, the princesses and concubines all carried small things, took the Xuan car, and went out of the fish to the market and the temple.
In the past three days, Jiang Jingshu has not been smiling, the palace people have seen it, and they are confused, only Mu Tao remembers that Miss's birthday is coming, so there is about a little empathy.
At this time, seeing her young lady absentmindedly looking out of the window, Mu Tao cautiously stepped forward and asked, "Miss...... Are we going to leave the palace? ”
"No, there are too many people, and it's ...... Nothing interesting. ”
Seeing this, Mu Tao stopped talking, but silently stepped aside.
Knowing that Jiang Jingshu did not leave the palace, Du Ruo changed his plan and immediately went to the East Palace to find Jiang Jingshu to play.
The two of them simply saluted the Weaver Girl in the backyard, and after praying, they ate melons and fruits, and talked whimsically.
Unconsciously, when it was time to arrive, the royal family members returned to the palace one after another, seeing that the time was not early, Jiang Jingshu went back to the room with Du Ruo, in the outer room, Du Ruo called the palace maid, and the palace maid immediately walked in and handed a beautifully packaged small box to Du Ruo.
"Jingshu, happy birthday." Du Ruo smiled and handed over the gift box.
Jiang Jingshu was slightly stunned, and the next moment, she took the gift box with a pale face, but her words were a little excited, "It turns out that ......"
"As Jingshu's friend, how could I forget about it? Otherwise, why would I abandon the Weaver Girl and come to this East Palace to chat with you? ”
After speaking, Du Ruo pretended to be disgusted and made a grimace, but he made Jiang Jingshu laugh.
"Du Ruo, thank you."
Before Du Ruo could respond, Mu Tao walked in quickly, holding an object in his hand, followed by Ziyi...... and other palace people of the East Palace.
Each of them has a small gift in their hands.
In the sound of everyone's blessings, Jiang Jingshu took the gift, and her heart was a little moved. These gifts, large and small, are different in style, but the affection is very strong.
In the end, she could only say, "Thank you, you have a heart." ”
Xu is a little unaccustomed to sensational occasions at this moment, and the palace people have played haha and led the topic elsewhere. At this moment, Zou Chen's voice came from the door, "So lively? ”
When the time came, the palace people scattered like birds and beasts. Soon, only Jiang Jingshu and Zou Chen stood looking at each other in the outer room, the red candle swaying slightly, casting an ambiguous silhouette on the paper window.
"Shu'er, huh." As he spoke, Zou Chen handed the gift in his hand to Jiang Jingshu.
Jiang Jingshu took it, and at Zou Chen's signal, she opened the gift box, and when she saw it, her mouth was open, and she didn't close it for a long time.
At the end, she silently closed the lid of the box, opened her lips, and whispered: "Thank you, Your Highness, I like it very much." ”
"Happy birthday." Zou Chen also responded softly, and under the dim candle light, his smiling face was particularly charming.
